Remarks & Notes 
Here's a tripple play at Provo Yard . . . While Rio Grande's afternoon yard switcher goes about its duties on the drill track, a Geneva Steel mill turn enters the westward main track, through the electric lock hand throws. Meanwhile, Union Pacific's Geneva turn departs Provo at the precisely the same time. I can't help but wonder even today, which train got to the Lakota crossing first. Anyhow, I was a 16 year old kid at the time, riding my Azuki 10-speed bike across the University Avenue viaduct when I shot this Kodachrome 64 view on a rainy October '77 afternoon.
